Trump Should Prosecute Bishops Who Smuggle Illegal Immigrants, and the Vatican for Fomenting That Practice
By The Stream Published on January 21, 2025

The Stream
The Stream’s John Zmirak appears on The Eric Metaxas Radio Show and explains how U.S. Catholic bishops openly defy U.S. immigration law while profiting from taxpayer money, to the tune of $3 billion in just 15 years. Pope Francis calls for open borders and denounces deportation of anyone for any reason as being like “slavery.” Zmirak calls on Donald Trump to prosecute the U.S. bishops for human trafficking and strip the Vatican of its immunity to sex-abuse lawsuits. “That might save my Church,” he told Metaxas, “from the money-hungry, lavender Mafia that has captured it.”

Any religious organization which does the same should have their tax-exempt status revoked.

Without doubt there are many more, and not all in the list above may be actively getting people across the border.

There is a butt ton of money (our money) being doled out to various organizations and used to invade the US with foreigners.
Follow the money.

Actually, any church that feels the need to protect illegal immigrants (or other criminals, for that matter) should be allowed to do so, but only under the terms of traditional grants of sanctuary:  the persons granted sanctuary cannot leave the church grounds, and must subsist entirely on charity from the faithful and clergy of the church.  If they leave the church grounds, they are subject to arrest.

Let's see how many churches actually care enough about the "dignity" of migrants to provide them sanctuary if they have to do it the way it was always done.

In my childhood hometown, my parochial school closed due to financial reasons arising out of the child molestation suits by priests in the diocese.

Perhaps they could annex the school building as part of the parish church and house them there?
